YouTubers find car in river identical to that of woman who disappeared four years ago
YouTubers have discovered new evidence in a Texas river that could be connected to a disappearance of a woman in 2017.The diving group, Adventures with Purpose, found a Kia Rio with a distinctive missing piece of its bumper at the bottom of the Brazos River.The car is believed to have belonged to Stephanie Torres, who was last seen on December 20, 2017, after she had attempted to take her own life.It was also revealed that a bone fragment had been found following the discovery of the vehicle.The 43-year-old suffered with fibromyalgia, a long-term condition that causes pain all over the body.According to reports, Stephanie's family had tried to block the driveway in a bid to stop her driving off, and she appeared to be intoxicated when she left.She is also alleged to have driven off without her medication, wallet or mobile phone.Police have confirmed that the Kia car did indeed belong to Ms Torres, but the remains inside the vehicle have not yet been identified as hers.Diving group Adventures with Purpose conducted the search after connecting with Stephanie's family on social media last year.The group - which was set up by scuba diver Jared Leisek - began by carrying out environmental clean-ups, but soon moved over to searching for missing people.On January 20, the group took to Facebook to announce that the car had been found.They wrote: "Working from clues as to the events prior Stephanie last being seen on December 21st, both dive teams began scanning the Brazos River on the West side of Brazos Park East Boat Ramp."The vehicle was upside down, 55' from shore, 13' underwater," the post continued."The local Waco Police and Fire Department arrived on the scene and prior to 5pm, through the efforts of all organizations
